Easy Easter Crafts That Delight Kids for Days

Spring has sprung, which means Easter is right around the corner! From the thrilling Easter egg hunts to the endless stream of bunny-shaped chocolate and pastel candy, Easter is fun for kids of all ages. Add to the celebration with these adorable spring-themed crafts that entertain your kid while encouraging them to express themselves. These easy Easter crafts are a fantastic way to amp up the holiday fun, while sparking your kid's creativity and refining their motor skills. Everything you need comes in a prepackaged, affordable kit (which also happens to fit nicely into an Easter basket). All you need to add is your child’s creative energy.

Make an Egg Carton Animal Farm!
The Klutz Jr: My Egg Carton Animals kit (ages 4 and up) is the perfect fit for the egg-cellent Easter season. With the provided paints, brush, and paper punch-out pieces, your kid can craft a variety of farm animals, from a bold blue sheep to a pair of adorable baby chicks.

The kit includes six egg cartons, 93 punch-out shapes, and four colors of acrylic paint. Kids glue the egg cartons together, then paint and add eyes and other adornments. Follow the provided instruction guide, or let kids follow their own creative impulses — who wouldn’t love a pink pony? Your little one will be sharpening their fine motor skills without even realizing it! The instructions even highlight animal trivia to further engage your young reader: Did you know cows only sleep four hours a day?

Make Peppa Jump In Muddy Puddles!
Create Peppa Pig, her family, and all her pals with the Klutz Jr: My Peppa Pig™ Clay Pals set (ages 4 and up). The Clay Pals set comes with four colors of pliable air-dry clay, character punch-outs, a clay measuring cutout, and a color mixing guide.

“My four-year-old loved playing with this kit, and it was simple enough for her to create something she was proud of,” says Courtenay Smith, Director of Scholastic Parents. To make each character, kids roll the air-dry clay into a ball-shaped body, and insert cut-outs of the character’s head, arms, legs, and tail to create a complete clay pal. It sounds simple, but since most 4-year-olds can only roll balls and snakes, the project meets young kids where they are developmentally, according to Brittany Leddy, Marketing and Publicity Manager for Klutz.

“My daughter’s favorite part was mixing the different colors,” says Smith. Kids stretch and mix different shades of air-dry clay following a visual color chart. (For instance, you need a large red ball and small blue ball to make Danny Dog’s signature purple.) “She honestly could have spent all day combining colors — the stretching and mixing was a total blast for her.”

Our Klutz Jr. My Peppa Pig™ Clay Pals set provides year-round educational fun, but with the kit’s rain boots and mud puddle cutout, your little one can create an April showers mud puddle scene that’s ideal for spring.

Make Colorful Mini Eraser Cuties!
For a unique Easter Basket stuffer, look no further than the eye-catching, undeniably adorable Klutz: Make Mini Eraser Cuties kit (ages 8 and up). Your kid can craft creative hybrids, from a cat donut to a “pupperoni” pizza, and use them in class — these erasers aren’t just for show!

The Klutz Mini Eraser Cuties kit is ideal for kids 8 and up who can’t get enough of pastel colors and glitter. This kit includes four pastel shades of eraser clay, 30 eyes, a clay shaping tool, a bag of glitter, and a diorama-style paper display. Your kid will mold mermaid tails, cat ears, unicorn wings, and more, and add finer details like smiles and noses with the straightforward clay shaping tool.

Once the Eraser Cuties are done baking in the oven and cooling off, you can place them in the provided rainbow paper display. Make sure to take a picture before your kid brings the erasers to school to show all their friends!
